Ok, I have seen it suggested a few times that people say its a DNS problem. This latest message suggests I need a machine name of 'ftp' so that ftp.mydomain.com will come up. Well, I only have one box. It's name is 'mnemo'. Does this imply that I can't run an ftp server for my site????? I don't think that's what was intended. Let's try from another angle. As a newbie what do I have to do to set-up an FTP mirror of a site in .uk?? I already have permission to do so from the content owner. Also he said there is a way to automatically update the mirror site, say twice a month, how can I accomplish this aswell??? Thankyou for your input. Phil "Crist J.
